Mike Gibson - G - Eagles

Eagles signed OG Mike Gibson, formerly of the Seahawks, to a two-year contract.
He reportedly signed for the veteran's minimum. It's a depth signing, as Gibson sat on the open market for most of 2011 before signing with Seattle in December. He's appeared in more than three games just once in four seasons.

Super Mario is going to spend another night in Buffalo and head to Bills HQ tomorrow morning.

Le'Ron McClain signs for 3 years with SD.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

1 year 3M for Hillis.

1 year 3M for Hillis.

nice signing for them

 

[numone9er]

1 year 3M for Hillis.

Smash and dash with Hillis and Charles running the ball. Who needs a QB when you have that combo? Cassel should suffice as long as they can add another WR (which I'm surprised they haven't yet).

Darren Urban:

By coincidence Adam Snyder's wife Erika went to Mtn Pointe HS just few miles from Cards facility. Her dad is former Cards exec Erik Widmark

Bears re-signed Kellen Davis to a two-year contract. I had some interest in him being brought in.

i like the idea of us going after another wr but if you don't have a qb to throw them the ball it won't make a difference who we sign!!

 

[shouldakepowens]

Is royal a huge upgrade over Williams? Both seem like same player

Yeah, I'd rather have Chaz Shillens.

Did Kap and Tolzien lose both there arms or something? lol

Actually, I hear ya and I can't help to believe that improving our weapons at WR is part of a bigger plan that will only include Smith if he [Smith] dictates that it does.

kap isn't ready to be a starter and tolzien is a unproven third string qb....i doubt randy moss would of signed with us if the 49ers didn't have a idea who was going to be the qb this year..

Wow.
Chad Henne - QB - Jaguars

Jaguars signed QB Chad Henne to a two-year contract.
The odds are strong that Henne will start at some point next season. GM Gene Smith is invested heavily in Blaine Gabbert, but the 2011 first-rounder is going to have to make major strides in pocket presence and accuracy to hold off Henne for the season. Although Henne has been plagued by a hesitancy to take chances down the field and red-zone inefficiency, new coach Mike Mularkey may have more luck bringing out his physical gifts than the Dolphins did.

Todd McClure - C - Falcons

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams are having talks with free agent C Todd McClure.
The 13-year veteran could be a short-term replacement for the recently released Jason Brown. McClure has spent his entire career with the Falcons, and graded out as the league's sixth-best center by Pro Football Focus last season. He has yet to line up a known visit.

Jacob Hester - RB - Chargers

The Chargers would still like to bring back free agent FB Jacob Hester despite Wednesday's signing of Le'Ron McClain.
If Hester returns, it will be as a special teamer now. He was the third back behind Ryan Mathews and Mike Tolbert last season.

Eric Winston - T - Texans

Free agent RT Eric Winston will visit the Ravens and Lions in addition to the Rams and Chiefs.
He'll reportedly be in Kansas City on Thursday. Judging by the interest he's generated thus far, Winston won't be on the market for long.

Kellen Davis - TE - Bears

Bears re-signed TE Kellen Davis to a two-year contract.
Davis caught just 18 balls for 206 yards a year ago. But now that Mike Martz is out as offensive coordinator, Davis' role figures to grow significantly. New OC Mike Tice -- a former tight end himself -- is expected to utilize the position in the passing game. The 2008 fifth-round pick projects as the starter heading into the offseason program and a deep-league sleeper. He at least has intriguing athleticism at 6'7/262.
